@sewateruk It’s Upper Grosvenor road, TN4 - around number 50ish

[Charley 🌱🌎 @charleybtherapy]

Today a hosepipe ban comes into force in Kent and Sussex - because apparently the hot weather and working from home has made the demand for tap water jump. Nothing to do with the waste from bad management/infrastructure @sewateruk - this leak has been running for 3 days now.

There was a baby chimp born at The Sedgwick County Zoo, the baby had to be put on oxygen for a few days. This is a clip of it being reintroduced to its mother for the first time.

All clients touch my heart. But some leave an indelible imprint. I am forever humbled by this job. #TherapistsConnect #talktherapy #counsellor

@EurostarUK hi will Eurostar services be effected by the train strike in the UK on 27th July?

[Charley 🌱🌎 @charleybtherapy]

This work we do… humbles me on a daily basis. Human fragility, vulnerability, defiance. And the minefields we tread. Fulfilling and challenging. I’m looking forward to the weekend! #TherapistsConnect #therapywork

@MichaelFulwiler Yes this! I was looking at (UK) Health insurance and for employees to claim for mental health support on their health insurance they have to use the specific therapists and type of therapy (usually CBT) offered by the insurance company. Not helpful.

[Charley 🌱🌎 @charleybtherapy]

@MichaelFulwiler One more client and my notes are up to date for the week! Never happens…

[Charley 🌱🌎 @charleybtherapy]

@AndrewByrneCou1 I’ve had that so many times when chatting online. They vanish. 😂

[Charley 🌱🌎 @charleybtherapy]

I love this quote by Dr BJ Palmer “healing is an inside job”. Never a truer word…

[Charley 🌱🌎 @charleybtherapy]

@MichaelFulwiler I think definitely more ways for us to be visible. I’m struggling to find clients and yet keep being told there’s a problem with supply of therapists. I’m like “hello I’m here! 👋🏼”

[Charley 🌱🌎 @charleybtherapy]

@Therapists_C Thank you for responding 😊🙏🏻

[Charley 🌱🌎 @charleybtherapy]

Does anyone know how private health insurance handles counselling for their customers? Several clients have asked me if they can claim on the insurance through work etc to pay for counselling sessions eg through AxA but I have no idea how all that works. #TherapistsConnect

An eye opening thread

This is incredible. Always been fascinated with volcanoes

[Colin McCarthy @US_Stormwatch]

Tonga's Hunga Tonga volcano just had one of the most violent volcano eruptions ever captured on satellite.

It’s an interesting psychological process when you finally get the thing everyone’s been talking about. (That would be Covid btw). There’s a part that wants to listen to the general narrative and forget to listen to my own body. But listening to my body lessens any anxiety.

[Charley 🌱🌎 @charleybtherapy]

@zcooper373 This is why I trained in Integrative Transpersonal Counselling. Mind, body and soul is what makes a human.

[Charley 🌱🌎 @charleybtherapy]

This! 👏🏼

PSA:

As therapists, many of us don’t always want to talk about therapy related things and aren’t trying to assess or diagnose you if we are having regular conversations or have just met for the first time.

We are human before this role and don’t wear our therapists hat 24/7.
